Nighthawk M1 battery charging problem
I have just bought a Netgear Nighthawk M1 through Telstra to enable working in the field. Plugged into the wallmount to charge and the battery seems to drain instead. It will only charge through USB ...
I have the sam problem, bettery level keeps dropping while indicating its plugged in and "charging". Forced to turn off, wait to charge and then resume. Terrible work Netgear.
I purchased my Nighthawk through my phone carrier about a month ago. I just realized, while my device is plugged in, the app is indicating the battery level is only 38% and I’m not seeing the typical charging “lightning bolt” I’m accustomed to seing when devices are being charged. This led me to explore some of the setting in the app. I decided to try changing the tethering selection (Settings>General>Router>Tethering) from “charge and tether” to “charge only.” I am now seeing the lightning bolt indication the battery is charging and I am now seeing the battery percentage slowly increasing. Hoping this may be a solution for my particular issue.
